Thick black school

Chapter 43
I doubt the saint.
In the past, I was very suspicious of saints. After careful research, I felt that there were all kinds of shady things inside the saints. I once wrote an article "The Shades of Saints".In the first year of the Republic of China, I wanted to publish it at the same time as "Thick Black Studies", because "Thick Black Studies" had not yet been published, and there was an uproar among the public, saying that I violated morals and incited people's hearts. I dare not publish this article, so I had to borrow it Free your mind.Now domestic scholars have attacked the sage to pieces, and the Chinese sage is at the end of his life.I was educated by him when I was young, and I shouldn't take advantage of the sage's danger to fall into a well, but I want to show my thought process, so I might as well briefly talk about the points I doubted back then.

The strangest things in the world are saints. They are born the most in more than three generations, and they emerge in endlessly. Many saints can be born at the same time!After the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were tens of millions of people who wanted to learn from saints, but none of them became saints, and the highest ones reached the status of sages.I would like to ask the sage, can he learn it or not?If it is learned, after the Qin and Han Dynasties, so many people learn, at least one sage should be born.If we can't learn it, why do we bother to read his books and study hard.

There are saints in the three generations, but there are no saints in the three generations. This is the biggest strange thing in ancient and modern times. The saints we usually call are Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, Duke of Zhou, Confucius.When we analyze them, only Confucius is a commoner, and the rest of the sages are all founding kings and the ancestors of later schools, and his flaws are revealed.

It turned out that the scholars of Zhou and Qin held a certain theory, thought they had found the truth, and believed that if it was put into practice, it could save the country and the people, but they were helpless and no one believed them.They thought to themselves: Human beings are all greedy for power. Everyone is willing to listen to what powerful people say. , is made of bamboo slips, and there are very few books that can be read, so those who create a new theory say: My opinion is in the book of seeing, and it is passed down by a certain founding king.Therefore, Taoism entrusted to the Yellow Emperor, Mohism entrusted to Yu Dayu, those who advocated combined farming entrusted to Shennong, those who wrote herbal medicine also entrusted to Shennong, those who wrote medicine, and those who wrote military books all entrusted to Huangdi.In addition, hundreds of acrobatics and various inventions of the husband are all entrusted to the founding king.Confucius was born in the meantime, and of course he couldn't violate this rule. He entrusted more, besides Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen and Wu, he also added the Duke of Zhou who was the founding father of Lu, so he was a man of great success.All the philosophers of the Zhou and Qin Dynasties used this method to add some good words and virtues to the ancient emperors. The ancient emperors enjoyed great fame, and all of them became the ancestors of the later schools.

The masters of the Zhou and Qin Dynasties published their own theories and gathered disciples to teach them. Everyone’s disciples said that our master was a sage. It turns out that the word sage was not noble in ancient times. " said that above the sage, there are also the titles of heaven, man, god, man, and man. The sage is listed in the fourth class. The meaning of the word "sage" is nothing more than "hearing and knowing, and knowing everything." Everyone can call him a "sage", just like the word "朕" in ancient times, and everyone can call it. Later, the word "望" and "Holy" were used by the emperor, and ordinary people are not allowed to pretend to be "" The word "望" and the word "Holy" are noble.The disciples of the Zhou and Qin masters respectfully call their master a saint, and they are not arrogant. The disciples of Confucius say that Confucius is a saint, and the disciples of Mencius say that Mencius is a saint. Of course, some people call him a saint. The sage, when Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty published the Six Classics, dismissed hundreds of schools, selected Confucius from the Zhou and Qin scholars, and recognized him as a sage, and all the sage titles of all the sages were taken away, and Confucius became the emperor. bestowed upon the saints.Since Confucius became a sage, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, and Duke Zhou, whom he respected, of course also became sages. Therefore, among the sages in China, only Confucius was a commoner, and the rest were founding kings.

The theories of the Zhou and Qin philosophers had to rely on the ancient rulers, which was a last resort. This can be proved by examples: In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a slip of Zhang Tian, ​​who took his writings to Luna to read, and Luna criticized him bitterly, and then Tianjian rewritten the text, entrusted the name Shen Yue, and took it to Luna to read. He read one sentence and praised one sentence; It can be proved by the preface of repairing the garden.Judging from the above two things, if the Zhou and Qin scholars did not rely on the founding king, I am afraid that our theory would have been destroyed long ago, and how could it be passed down to this day.The philosophers of the Zhou and Qin Dynasties aimed to save the world. Only by using this method can their theories be carried forward, and future generations have received a lot of blessings. We should be grateful to them, but for the sake of studying the truth, their inside stories must be kept secret. debunk.

After Confucius, there was also a sage among the common people, and this man was Guan Yu, whom everyone knew!When a mortal dies, his career ends, but after Guan Yu died, he continued to do many careers, earning himself the title of sage.Before Confucius, the careers and classics of those saints were probably similar to those of Guan Yu.

Now in a remote area, there happens to be a person who enjoys a little wealth, and those who talk about cause and effect say that he has accumulated a lot of Yin Gong.Those who talk about geomantic omens say that his grave was well buried, and those who read fortune tellers say that his appearance is unique and unique.I think the people's hearts in ancient times were similar to those of today. There were probably people who talked about cause and effect. When they saw those emperors who founded the country, they said how good their conduct and morals were. Book material.At the same time, all people have prejudices. With prejudices in their hearts, what they see in their eyes will change their appearance. People with green glasses will see everything as green, and people with yellow glasses will see everything as yellow.The philosophers of the Zhou and Qin Dynasties created a theory to observe the ancients with their own eyes, and the ancients would naturally change their appearance, which was in line with his theory.

Let's take Dayu among the sages and study it for a moment. He has no limbs, no hair on his shin, and his head is worried about his head.Han Feizi said: "The princes of the Yu Dynasty were in Kuaiji, and the king of the Fangfeng clan came later and Yu beheaded him." He became a great legalist who enforced the law like a mountain.Confucius said: "Yu and I are inseparable. If you don't eat and drink, you will be filial to ghosts and gods. If you wear bad clothes, you will be beautiful and wear a crown. If you are humble, you will do your best."After reading Wei Pu, his behavior is similar to that of Cao Pi and Liu Yu.Song Confucianism talked about his only essence and only heart, and he became a Confucianist who analyzed meaning and reason in the slightest.Miscellaneous books say that he married the daughter of the Tu Shan family, who is a vixen, as if he is a son and scholar in Liaozhai.It is said that he made Fumian powder for Tu Shanshi, and he seemed to be a romantic thrush.He also said that when he was controlling the water, he deceived the gods and monsters, a bit like Sun Xingzhe in "Journey to the West" and Jiang Ziya in "Fengshen Bang".From Zongwu's point of view, he first forgot his family and hatred, then seized the enemy's world, and finally drove the enemy to death in the field of Cangwu, he is simply an important figure in the thick black school.He is a grotesque person, really inexplicable, and the other saints are similar to Yu Dayu. If we think about it a little, the inside story of the saints can be understood.Because the sage is a figure formed by the fantasy of later generations, and each person's fantasy is different, so the shape of each person is different.

I made a thick black study, and it is consistent from the present to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and it is also consistent. It can be seen that from the Spring and Autumn Period to today, the psychology of ordinary people is the same.After chasing after Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, and Zhou Gong, I felt that their psychology was mysterious and unpredictable, all of which were prevalent in heaven, but the essence was unique, and the thick black theory was not applicable.Everyone says that the hearts of the three generations of inferiors are not ancient, as if the hearts of the three generations above are separated from those of the three generations below, isn't it strange?In fact, it is not surprising: if the Wenjing Dynasty also used the method of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to depose a hundred schools of thought, leaving Laozi alone, saying that he was a saint, and the Yellow Emperor that Laozi admired was of course a saint, so among the common people, only Lao Tzu alone is a sage, the founding king, only the Yellow Emperor is a sage.Lao Tzu's heart was "subtle and profound, unfathomable", and Huangdi's heart was also "subtle and profound, deep and unfathomable". "Its government is boring, its people are honest and honest", after the Yellow Emperor, people's hearts are no longer ancient.Yao seized the world of his elder brother, Shun seized the world of his wives, Yu seized the world of his enemies, Tang Wen and military ministers rebelled against the emperor, Zhou Gong used his brother to kill his brother, my thick black study can be reversibly extended to Yao and Shun.The human hearts of the three generations above and those of the three generations below have merged into one.Reluctantly going back further, the people's hearts of the Yellow Emperor's time and the people's hearts of Yao and Shun later still have to become two parts.

If Lao Tzu had encountered the same fate as Confucius and became a sage bestowed by the emperor, I think Meng Ke's sub-sage title would definitely be taken away by Chuang Tzu.The books of the Four Sons we read must be "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Liezi" and "Yinzi". Shen Han's books have all become heresies and have been put on the shelf. However, when I meet curious people, I occasionally look through them. If the horoscope is mixed with the horoscope, there will be no subtlety or mystery.People who preach Taoism in later generations will definitely study deeply in the Tao Te Ching, the door of Xuan and Min, and will definitely create Tianxuan, Renxuan, Li and Yu, and various terms to talk about each other.In my opinion, the truth of a saint is nothing more than that. (Author's note: Later, I occasionally looked through the "Taixuan Jing", and saw terms such as "Tianxuan", "Dixuan", and "Renxuan", but I haven't seen the nouns "Limi" and "Yumi" .)
Confucianism, based on benevolence and righteousness, has established a general rule: "Those who practice benevolence and righteousness will prosper, and those who do not practice benevolence and righteousness will perish." If the success or failure of ancient and modern times can meet this general rule, it will be cited as evidence; Just ignore it.For example: Tai Shigong's "Yin Ben Ji" said: "Xi Bo Gui is Yin to cultivate virtue and do good", "Zhou Ben Ji" said: "Xi Bo Chang Yin does good", with two consecutive Yin characters, its effect can be imagined. "The Family of Qi" said more bluntly, "Xi Bo's detachment from righteousness, conspired with Lu Shang to cultivate morality, and to promote business and politics. It involved military power and tricks." It can be seen that King Wen's morality is obviously a kind of power trick It is to serve the people with sincerity. When the Confucianists saw that King Wen had achieved success, they respected him extremely.King Xu Yan practiced benevolence and righteousness. The princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the 36 kingdoms of the dynasty, King Wen of Jing hated him for harming himself, and raised his troops to destroy them.His argument is exactly the same as that of karma in the countryside. When someone is rich and honored, he is said to have accumulated evil virtues. When someone is electrocuted to death, he is said to be disobedient and unfilial. The reason is not like that.

The saints of the ancients are really strange.Lu Rui agrees to set foot on the land of the saints, and immediately change his mind. The saints influence people. It is so miraculous. Owls will be produced.

Li Zicheng was a rogue. He entered Beijing to search for the body of Empress Chongzhen, carried it in a palace door, filled it with a willow coffin, and placed it at the Donghua Gate for people to pay homage to.King Wu was a saint. He went to the place where Zhou died, shot him three arrows, took the yellow axe and chopped it off, and hung it on the Taibai flag. Their father, who had been a minister under Zhou's name for several days, made this move. , His character, openly also became the only saint, really wonderful!If Wu Sangui had surrendered in Chen Yuanyuan's public case, wouldn't Li Zicheng become Emperor Taizu Gao?
Tai Wang Shi started to build Shang, Wang Jiwen Wang succeeded, Confucius called Wu Wang Tai Wang Wang Jiwen Wang Zhixu, in fact, it is different from Sima Yan, Zuan Yi Shizhao's Xu, the difference is that one was born before Confucius and became a saint of all ages One was born after Confucius and got the name of a rebellious minister from generation to generation.

When later generations saw that the sage had done immoral things, they would do everything possible to excuse him. When the evidence was conclusive and there was no way to excuse him, they would say that the above deeds came from later generations. This example was opened by Mencius. If it is not benevolent to cut down, there will be no bloodshed, so it is concluded that the words of King Cheng of Chu's blood flow and disobedience are false. We can see from the words of Yin Min's three rebellions and Duofang's edict, that blood flowed and disobeyed when he was defeated. It's true, I'm afraid that the saying "from benevolence to inhumanity" is a bit false.

Zigong said: "The badness of Zhou is not as good as it is. It is because the gentleman is evil that he is low, and all the evils of the world belong to him." It is because the gentleman is prominent in the upper class, and all the beauty in the world belongs to him." If you change the word "inferior" into failure and the word "upper" into success, it will be more accurate.

The ancients taught Shinto. When offering sacrifices, they called a person to be a dead body, and pointed out to the crowd, "This is the god to be worshiped," and the crowd kowtowed to him.At the same time, he set up teachings based on the holy way, and said to everyone: "My theory is inherited from the sages." Someone asked: "Who is the sage?" He pointed to Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, Zhou Gong and said: "This is the sage. "The crowd also regarded him as a corpse and kowtowed to him.Later, it evolved, and the people woke up. When offering sacrifices, the corpses were removed. Only the sages had not woken up from their dreams for thousands of years.

People who talk about cause and effect say that there is a king of Hades, and ask where is the king of Hades?He said: "Underground." People who lectured on Confucianism said that there were many saints and asked, "Where are the saints?" He said "in ancient times."This monster can only be imagined, cannot be seen, cannot be verified, but the more mysterious his reasoning is, the more people will believe in it.Those who create this kind of argument are originally persuading people to do good, and their intentions are commendable, as if the facts are not true, there will be abuses.The malpractice of cause and effect leads to being a boxer, and the malpractice of a sage prevents the truth from appearing.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty revered Confucius as a saint, all the opinions in the world were compromised by Confucius, and he dared not go against him.Kong Rong had a brief discussion about his parents, and Cao Cao killed him.Ji Kangfei lost Tang Wu, and Sima Zhao killed him.The promotion of Confucianism was all maintained by Cao Cao, Sima Zhao, and ordinary people. Later, he opened a course to obtain scholars. If scholars do not read Confucian books, they will have no way to get in.A dead Confucius, he can hold the official title in his left hand and the country in his right hand, so he can become a teacher of all ages.The characters in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing study cases, in their hearts, are all characters under the feet of the sage Confucianism. They have been destroyed by the sage.

Chinese saints are extremely domineering.If he said anything, later generations would not dare to say it. If he said it, everyone would attack him when they heard that he was a heretic.Zhu Zi invented a theory, dare not say that he invented it himself, so he had to say that Confucianism was based on the study of things, and he added some explanations to say that his theory was the direct descendant of Confucius.Then someone believes.Wang Yangming invented a theory, so he had no choice but to extend his knowledge of things, add some explanations, and then attach his own theory, saying that Zhu Zi was wrong, and his theory is the direct descendant of Confucius.Originally, the theories of Zhu and Wang can be independent, and there is no need to rely on Confucius. Ignorance is within the sphere of influence of Confucius. If they do not rely on Confucius, their theories must not be implemented.The two of them tried their best to attach themselves to it. People at that time still said that it was a fake study, and they were severely attacked. The sage was so arbitrary, how could he spread the truth research.

Han Feizi told a joke: "The people of Ying wrote a letter to Yan Xiangguo. When writing the book, it was dark and they shouted: 'raise the candle', and the person who wrote the book wrote the word "lift the candle". Send the book, Yan Xiang got the book, thought for a long time, and said: "Lifting candles means Shangming, and Shangming means appointing sages." Therefore, it is said that the king of Yan entered the country, and the king of Yan used his words to rule the country. The original meaning of the book." So Han Fei said: "The former king had Ying's book, and the later generations said Duoyan." What is the explanation of the four words "searching things to know"? I am afraid that only those who have "Great Learning" understand. , at least one person cannot escape the criticism of "Ying Shuyan's theory".Not only the four characters of "investigating things to gain knowledge", I am afraid that the commentaries on the Thirteen Classics, the explanations of the Huangqing Classics, and the many wonderful theories in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing academic cases cannot escape the criticism of "Ying Shuyan's theory".

Academic shady, and political shady, like the same, the saint and the king are twins, and they depend on each other everywhere. The saint does not rely on the power of the king, so the saint is not so respected; the king does not rely on the doctrine of the saint, the king It can't be so rampant, so the monarch gave his name to the sage, and he was called a king, and the sage gave his name to the monarch, and the monarch was called a saint.The monarch controls the actions of the people, and the sage controls the thoughts of the people.The monarch will issue an order, and the people must obey it. If someone violates it, it will be regarded as treason and outrageous, and it will not be tolerated by the law.The sage makes an argument as he pleases, and scholars must believe it. If someone refutes it, it is considered unholy and lawless, and it is not tolerated by the Qing Dynasty.The people of China have been oppressed by the monarch for thousands of years, and the public opinion cannot be expressed. It is no wonder that the political disorder is in disorder.Chinese scholars have been tortured and oppressed by saints for thousands of years, and they cannot think independently, so it is no wonder that their academics are depressed.Because of errors in theory, politics is dark, so the orders of the monarch should be changed, especially the orders of the saints.

I dare not say that Confucius' personality was not high, nor did I dare say that Confucius's academics were not good. I only said that apart from Confucius, there were also personalities and theories.Confucius did not suppress us, nor did he say that we were not forbidden to create different theories, just like the people who came later, they wanted to lift up Confucius and overwhelm everything, so that scholars did not dare to go beyond the scope of Confucius.Scholars have been occupied by Confucius for a long time, so they should push him away so that their thinking can be independent and the truth of the universe can be studied.Some time ago, someone pushed Confucius away, and at the same time Darwin and others broke in, occupying the hearts of scholars, and the public opinion was compromised by Darwin and others, becoming a deformed Confucius to perform the task of a sage.Anyone who violates their theories is regarded as treasonous, and will be scolded endlessly by newspapers and magazines.If Darwin's people go, someone will come out again to carry out the task of the saint, and his theory is also not allowed to be violated.In my opinion: academics are public affairs in the world, and I should listen to criticism from others. If I am wrong, it will not hurt me to change to other people's theories. Why should I adopt the attitude of a warlord and forbid criticism.

Everything is based on equality, the monarch is not equal to the people, so political disputes arise; the saint is not equal to scholars, so academic disputes arise.I advocate that Confucius should be brought down to rank alongside the Zhou and Qin masters.Readers and I will join in together, sit in a row with them, and welcome everyone from Darwin to fight against each other.Express opinions and discuss with everyone. Confucius and Darwin are not allowed to be superior to us, and we are not superior to Confucius and Darwin. Only when everyone thinks independently can the truth be researched.
